Abstract

Introduction: Athletes naturally feel anxiety and tension during competition, where mild worry and stress can further encourage athlete performance, but severe anxiety seriously interferes with athlete performance on the field. Objective: Study the effects of anxiety on competition results. Methods: This paper analyzes 40 athletes from various sports, use the relevant scoring methods on the competition situation anxiety scale, makes statistics on athletes’ psychological scores and athletes’ anxiety with different competition outcomes, and draws relevant charts aiming to better observe the psychological situation of athletes with different competition levels. Results: Athletes have different types of anxiety in the competition process, and athletes with different competition outcomes also have different anxiety emphases. Among them, athletes with high sports levels often feel nervous and anxious about the results of competitions and the fiercest competition. The degree of anxiety about their actions is relatively low; athletes with lower performance are just the opposite. Conclusion: Coaches should perform targeted psychological counseling to adjust the mentality of athletes to achieve a better competitive state.
